Holiday/Winter Safety

Holidays are a time for celebration, yet fireworks, holiday decorations, extra goodies baking in the kitchen, a cozy fire in the fireplace, or steaks on the barbeque all bring additional risks.

According to the U.S. Fire Administration each year improper use of fireworks causes more than 6,000 fires, cause an average of 9,600 injuries and cost more than $8 million in damage.

Each year fires occurring during the holiday season injure 2,600 individuals and cause over $930 million in damage. Take holiday and winter safety tips seriously and don't let you or your family become a statistic.
